I expect that the power cable is used on kit that has an earth. Also the cable may shunt mains bournor emi/rfi goop back to the earth at the wall. I'd wait a few hours for the psu to charge the caps rather than make a snap decision does the new psu sound different to the supplied one ? I

This has me asking, How can the unit be shielded, especially the umbilical cord, if the unit does not have an earth ground?” Also why bother with the IEC upgrade if the design does not even use a ground? -- iPhone

To clarify Sean, blowing up your Squeezebox by modding in any way is not covered under the warranty. This includes using a power supply that's not from us. You can contact support, but you will be responsible for any repair chargers, and my guess is you'll need a whole new unit anyway. You might

I bought two of these for my SB3s. Neither one came with the printed circuit boards, so they had to ship those. I put the first one together last night and discovered the power cord is too big to fit through the supplied strain relief, so I went to my neighborhood hardware store and bought two

I just got the SB3 last week and so far I love it! I'd like to slowly move up to some of the mods, but I don't have the cash right now. Is there a linear power supply that I could purchase (maybe online) that would be an upgrade to the stock power supply that came with the SB3. I've looked

Rummaging around I found a regulated linear power supply 1200ma with variable output from 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 9 and 12 volt dc. I am using it with my sb3 set on 4.5 volts. Is this worth using? Should I be looking for a much better power supply? It sounds fine, possibly slightly better than the stock
